Substitutional defects in 2D materials present unique opportunities for optoelectronic and quantum information platforms. This paper will introduce two types of substitutional defects. The first type is atomic substitution: a nitrogen atom substituting a chalcogen atom in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which yields new photoluminescence features [1]. The second type is layer substitution: an entire layer of chalcogen atoms in 2D TMD substituted by another type of chalcogen atoms, namely, Janus TMDs. Janus TMDs form unconventional interaction with adjacent materials [2,3].
